Chicago. ArksnsAS Traveller. Eov.S

Chicago, ArkansAS Traveller. Eov.5.
Some men are born rich, some acquire
riches and others have riches thrust
upon them. To the latter fortunate class
belongs Mr.. Charles A. johnson, who
resides at 1915 w. Ohio street, Chicago,
and who was the lucky holder of one
tenth of ticket No. 1886 which drew the
first capital prize Of $3.50, 600 in the Oc-
tober 18th drawing of The Louisiana
State Lottery Company.
A Traveller reporter, hearing OF his
good fortune, called upon Mr.. johnson
to con aratulate him and hear from his
own lips the story of his profitable in
yestment. He found Mr.. johnson, a
very intelligent young swede, twenty
seven years of age, cabinet-maker by
occupation, who, six years ago came 70
America and found employment at his
trade in Chicago. Being of sober, fru-
gal and industrious habits, his wages
were sufficient to maintain him comfort
ably, but would not permit of mich to
be laid aside for rainy day. Having
three times before purchased tickets in
the lottery and drawn nothing, his JOY
full surprise may be imagined when he
fonnd that his last investment of one
dollar had brought him a return of S15,-
johnson through the American Expire s
company ON October 81, just ten days
after the drawing, and is now deposited
to his credit in one of the banks Of the
city. When questioned regarding the
use to which he would put his fortune,
Mr.. johnson said: 81 shall remain in
Chicago and at once build a comfOrta.
BILE house, furni it elegantly and mar
~ the young lady to whom have fol
some time been hetrothed. For the
present l shall continue at my trade, anc
later may engage in business for my
self" Mr.. johnson is pleased with tht
promptness with which the Lottery Com
pany forwarded the amount of his prize
and especially is he delighted that h'
can now marry and maintain in comfoT
the lady of his choice. He is a sensible
as well as fortunate Young man an'
will, without doubt, make good use 0
his suddenly acquired wealth.

Schleler. In what way?"
"Well, take the sea, for instance.
About all of the photographs taken In
depths Of the sea are by experimenting
amateurs, and through them most mar

"How do they accomplish this and
how do they know what is being photo
graphed?" asked the reporter.
Until the plate is seen they have not
the slightest idea of what has been pho
tographed. The operation, however, is
simple. A box, Theoretically sealed,
with glass front, is sunk and to it is con-
nected an electric li-ht. At a certain
depth light fails to penetrate the water
and all is darkness. Sinking this device
to short distance of the bed the cleo.

ates everything within certain radius,
and at the same instant calls into action
the mechanism of the submerge camera.
Often, to be sure, almost nothing APP
pears upon the plate, but sometimes the
instrument is lowered among most inter
esting formations of nature, and pictures
are produced of incalculahle value to sci
ence. These experiments are constantly
being made, and are such that those con
nected with the art asmyself cannot pos
sibly prosecute.

Society paper was read on "The Sense of
Smell in dogs" in which some experiments with
a setter dog were detailed, which showed. for
one thing. that while very small part Of the
surface of boot is sufficient to make trail
which the animal can trace, the scent is not able
to penetrate single layer of brown paper. 1t
was found. too that the setter was ready at any
moment to be guided by inference well as by
perception. and that the of inference was
instantaneous The experiments also showed
that not only the feet, but the whole body of
man exhale peculiar individual odor which
a dog can recognize that of his master amid
crowd of people, and that the individual quality
of this odor can be recognized at great distances
to windward, or, in calm weather. in any di-
rection.

A Secret of Political success.


No man ever did, ever will, go away from
General Cameron's curt, yet courtly, presence
disgruntled without good and sufficient cause
He has always been pre-eminently manager of
men. He has taken to watch when the
tides in public affairs liable to rise, and
when the ebb came he was pretty sure to see its
approach before most other people. This has
been the secret of mis- political succeas. In
speaking of his in politics he likes to-day
to talk to his intimates in strain something
like this: People always said of me whom was
in active politics that Cameron was . boss-that
could be a candidate for Office unless
Cameron first selected him and gave him per-
mission to run. This impression became so
strong that aspirants for political preferment
would come to me months before the primaries
or nominating conventions and ask il they
might cave the Office they sought, believing that
my word of support was equivalent to an cleo
ton. 1t wasn't anything of the kind, you know.
invariably asked such questions by asking the
candidate: What Is your strength or, how
many delegates can you count on? Show me
your figures and then can tell whether / can
afford TO support you This would say to all

THE presentation of the name of Senator
Payne to the Democratic county convention
at Cleveland, Saturday, as delegate to the
State convention came near breaking the
gathering up in row. The proposal met
with violent opposition and fight seemed
imminent, but before this could occur or
vote be taken a motion to adjourn prevailed
and trouble was averted. Senator Payne has
displayed little sensitiveness over the public
attacks upon his integrity, but this proof of
the estimation in which his former friends
and neighbors hold him must cause feeling
of shame in any man not entirely pachyder-
matous The rejection of United States
Senator as a man not fit to be delegate to a
Democratic convention is stigma such as
was never inflicted upon any one in that high
Office before.
